Crap, I don't seem to be able to delete my brainless post.

Cheers,

Assuming that the bird ban is now lifted has anybody been to see the state of the seepage.

[Scraggadoo]

Haven't been, don't know about bird ban just yet.

But in answer to your question, since I'm south lakes based, it's safe to say it won't be dry as it's raining...  yet again.

Just had a wander up to the crag for a look.  Everything between Zantom Phone & Warm Push is wet at some point on the route.

Rock around Intersteller / jelly head / cement head looks dry from the ground, but i'm guessing will have some wet holds on them.

Couple of dry routes at the far ends of the crag, but not really worth the effort.

Raining again by the time i got back to the car

Most stuff drying out on Sunday. Ist big tuffa pinch on Phantom Zone wet, Route of All Evil wall dry, some wet at the bottom of the main wall routes but not too bad considering. 

[Plattsy]

According to our favourite cowboy lothario it's bone dry at the moment...

[Gus]

Seepage coming through heavily last night, but routes on the left dry and climbable (zantom phone doable, but Phantom zone tufa etc wet)

[Marky]

Did you notice if Route of All Evil wall was still dry?

[Gus]

didn't check I'm afraid but I'd imagine that suffers less from seepage problems as the tufa type routes further right.

The Route of All Evil wall looked pretty seepy today - lots of wetness coming out of pockets - enough to stop me from getting on Mid-Air Collision.  Phantom Zone tufas were wet low down (but upper parts okay).  Super Dupont tufa was dripping (but possible to climb past if so minded). Lots of wet streaks and tufas..... but it was drying throughout the day and might well more improve overnight.

[Dirty Lion]

any updates from yesterday at all?

[moose]

It was dryer on Sunday than Saturday.  The tufa on Super Duper Dupont was wet rather than dripping (but no matter - it still goes, even for punters like me).  Primevil had some seepiness and annoying lichen up high.

I think Phantom Zone's tufa was dryer too (but probably only climbable if you had strength to spare).

The bottom of Route of All Evil was still wet - but most of the rock above was dry.  My friends linked the start of Mid Air Collision into the middle of True Path and the end of Route of All Evil (which despite sounding contrived, looked like the most direct route up that wall) and said it was dry.  I think some pockets midway up M.A.C were wet but the route was likely climbable. 

However, I've heard it was raining this morning in the Lakes so caveat emptor.

What do folks reckon it's gonna be like over the weekend? I don't know the crag well at all, but would be looking for enough quality in the 7a-7c range to make a trip worthwhile.

I'm not feeling overly optimistic given the biblical amounts of rain in Yorkshire...

Cheers

You beat me to it - I'm also considering CH as a Sunday venue. Watching with interest....

[Fras]

Took the risk and went down yesterday - definitely worth it as it is (was) mostly dry. Bit of seepage low down on 'War Games' and Phantom Zone, but otherwise very climbable. Sun splitting the sky the whole time...happy days!

[kingholmesy]

Anyone been recently and / or want to hazard a guess for conditions on Saturday?

[timlar]

Any ideas if it will be dry Thursday please, cheers. Tim.

[timlar]

Thinking of heading up tomorrow if anyone has any updates, cheers. Tim

[Fras]

Anyone been to CH recently? Is it now seepier than a seepy thing and to be avoided till next year? Making the drive down from Glasgow so don't want to be restricted to a few dry pieces of ****.

[Duncan campbell]

Anyone know or would be able to predict connies at Chapel Head? Looks like it will be dry this week and dry enough on saturday... worse case scenario we can go via Malham...

Also heading to a 30th in the evening coniston way and was wondering if anyone had any good beta for a chippie nearby/on the way to fuel up before a big night.

[bendavison]

Planning on heading up to the Lakes this weekend and might drop in to chapel head scar. Anyone got a topo they could scan and pm me?

Cheers!
